In Buhunda village, many grandparents carry the weight of raising children, but without the resources or strength to meet today’s caregiving demands. One elderly caregiver shared her experience:

“I take care of my three grandchildren. My husband is very weak and sick, so he can’t support us. It’s hard. I depend on my eldest grandchild—she’s pregnant and works tirelessly. If she stays home to rest, we won’t have anything to eat.”

This story reveals the quiet crisis of intergenerational poverty, where young girls are forced into adult roles before they’re ready. TAHEA Mwanza supports such families through caregiver support programs, youth empowerment initiatives, and emergency assistance that helps restore balance and dignity.
